The biggest worry about BBC chair Richard Sharp isn't necessarily the £400,000 he's give to the Tories. It's the £35,000 he's given to Quilliam, a "thinktank" loved by the transatlantic super-rich but distrusted by almost every British Muslim @OborneTweets middleeasteye.net/opinion/richar…
BBC chairman Richard Sharp may be wondering whether the £35,000 he gave Quilliam was money well spent considering its "shock jock" founder Maajid Nawaz appears to have become a full-blown "stop the steal" conspiracy theorist. 😐 via @PrivateEyeNews 
Quilliam founder and LBC presenter Maajid Nawaz does seem to harbour some pretty wacky views. He's a strong opponent of lockdowns, which he believes are the result of a plot by the Chinese Communist Party. 🤦♂️via @PrivateEyeNews

The trouble wth Maajid Nawaz's Quilliam Foundation, to which BBC chair Richard Sharp gave £35,000. “Leaders of the global Islamophobia industry in the US and UK have long been reported as being involved in funding Nawaz and Quilliam,” said a Cage spokesman trtworld.com/magazine/maaji…
Maajid Nawaz's attachment to alt-right conspiracy theories shouldn't come as a surprise. For most of the past decade, his Quilliam Foundation has been funded by pro-Trump Republican donors, through whom it's received ~$3m of ‘dark money’. via @NafeezAhmed bylinetimes.com/2021/01/12/lbc…
